Great post! I recently wrote something similar about how it was now a good time for companies to reinvest in their web presence. I think I'll link to this article as well to hammer that point home.

I have noticed more people asking about PPC campaigns lately but I haven't heard any buzz about the local companies wanting to increase their organic rankings. Most people that run companies don't know very much about search optimization and their failure to see the benefits of a dedicated SEO campaign is a result of our failure to effectively communicate those benefits to them. So perhaps now would also be a good time for us to sharpen our sales and communication skills so we can do a better job at that.

It was probably her programming hat. I used to have one which looked eerily similar that gave me + 10 programming ability (thought with a slight hit to my mana pool).

As for the PRs, I still think they are valid. I have used them in the local media a few times and I couldn't tell you how many people told me they had read about me in the paper. Some would even shoot me an e-mail or give me a phone call the day it was printed. I think most thought it was written by someone at the paper, which gave me even more credibility.
